MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1864
Mr. Sala in the Capitol.
A shining light of the London press ar
rived in this country about two months ago,
sent over " special " by the Daily Tele
graph—a journal which, with equal perse
verance and ability, has been strongly in
favor of Southern Rebellion since ever it
broke out. Mr. George Augustus Sala is
the gentleman to whom we allude. He has
been on the editorial staff of the Daily Tele
graph since the autumn of 1857, and, ex
clusive of literary criticism and special cor
respondent's work, has wriften about three
thousand loading articles in its columns.
It may be believed, then, that Mr. Sala is
a man of great industry, facile and rapid in
composition. Had he done nothing but the
above, it would have been heavy labor.
But, besides this, he wrote in other London
journals—in the Illustrated Times and the
Welcome Guest—besides contributing to the
Cornhill Magazine the best biography of
William Hogarth yet written, and, while
subsequently editing Temple Bar, writing
for it the novel called " The Seven Sons of
Mammon," and the amusing essays, clear.
ly suggested by Thackeray's "Roundabout
Papers," entitled "Breakfast:in Bed." Since
his connection with a daily paper he has
also written several separate volumes.
Energy, talent, and tireless industry may
unite to claim him as their special repre
sentative.
We advisedly use the word talent, for
Sala is not a man of genius. Herein lies
the difference between him and Thaekeray.
Sala has very little originality, and
Thaekeray had a great deal. Thackeray
created, and Sala copies. Thackeray's
manner, pleasant even when saying
harsh things, was undoubtedly his own ;
but Sala, as yet, has only adopted the
manner of other writers ; first, of Dick
ens, on whose Household Words he , was
a writer for six years, and, more lately of
Thackeray.
The critics are already discussing who is
to succeed Thackeray. He will have no
direct successor—just as Byron had none—
but novelists, and essayists, and satirits
will absorb among them a great deal of the
admiration that lie won. We may pre
sume that Dickens and Bulwer - will remain
precisely as they stood before Thackeray's
death; big for his place in the_van of great
modern writers many will now be setup. Our
own opinion is that Anthony Trollope,
though at a long distance, will be the man ;
he is an able and amusing novelist, and his
hooka of travel exhibit an unusual amount of
common sense. As a satirist he is subdued,
and as an essayist he has yet to make his
first attempt. Many may think that Sala
comes nearest to Thackeray. In some
things there is a resemblance ; but Thacke
ray was first in the field, and followers run
the chance of being looked on as imitators.
Before November, 1827, when Sala was
born, Thackeray"s first tale had been pub
lished, and not until twenty years later did
his "Vanity Fair" place him, by common
consent, in the same prominent position as
a novelist that Dickens and Bulwer held.
At that time, achieving fame, after long
years of task .work, which did little more
than keep the wolf from the door, Thacke
ray was forty ; even now, after an immense
amount.of authorship, Sala is only in his
thirty-seventh year. It is possible that,
like his illustrious exemplars, he marone
morning awake and find himself - famous.
Even now, he has a wide reputation, while
at his age Thackeray was little known be
yond that noble , army of martyrs, the au
thors of London, as a writer of all work in
li•aser's _Magazine and a lively contributor
to Punch. (Here let us add, in a parenthe
sis, that the most touching, because un.-
affected and genuine, heart-tribute to Mr.
Thackeray, as writer and man,.was written
y Mr. Sala, and is to be found in the last
number of the .Albion, a very respectable
New York weekly.)
Here we have been led. into drawing a
comparison between Sala and Thackeray,
not exactly " after the manner of Plutarch,"
when all that we intended was a mere an
nouncement that the London Daily Telegraph
had sent its most brilliant writer to report
upon men and manners, loyalty and treason,
society and letters in these United States.
We may be tempted, on some other day, to
give a personal sketch of Itlr. Sala, and
therefore shall view him now only as Spe
cial Correspondent to the Daily Telegraph
in London.
1864.
We have seen three of his letters. They
are sharp, spicy, and sarcastic,_ but evi
dently not intended to misrepresent or
annoy. It is evident all ;through that Mr.
Sala writes with the purpose of reproducing
his correspondence in book-form, when he re
turns to England. His first epistle described
New York. His second gave his journey
thence to Washington, and though he did not
go to the length of accurate "Guy Living
stone Lawrence," who speaks of "the lights
of Philadelphia gleaming out on the broad
dark Susquehanna," (vide "Border and %s
-tile," p. 24), he errs almost as much when
he says that in Washington, if a man can
not get bed and board at Willard's, he must
accommodate himself as best he can, in some
small tavern. The third of Mr. Sala's
American letters which we have seen, is
dated Washington, December 13, and was
published in London fifteen days later. It
is very " smart," and we shall make a few
extracts, to show what such an eminent
writer said about us, and also that our read
ers may notice his style.
Mr. Sala thinks little of the historical
paintings in the Capitol at Washington,
in the Parliament House at London, and
vene in the Louvre at Paris. Himself an
artist (another point of resemblance to
Thackeray), he candidly says : "The ar
tist and connoisseur do not gain much that
I know of by studying any historical
paperhangings in the vestibules of any
legislative chamber, American or Euro
pean, with which lam acquainted. It is,
perhaps, fortunate that the corridors in
the new palace at Westminster are so
bark. The obscurity prevents our observing
how cracked and mildewed are the fres
coes upon which we have spent so many
thousands of pounds • sterling, how violent
and distorted is their drawing, how crude
their color, how tame their conception.
And, as nature has also mercifully forbidden,
under the penalty of vertigo or a stiff neck,
a long-continued upward gaze at the painted
ceilings in the Louvre, so most Frenchmen
are spared the entire and painful revelation
of how exaggerated in form, and how vio
lent in hue, are the allegorical personages
who sprawl there."
On the subject of the War of Independence,
though Mr. Sala shows his historical know
ledge by declaring " that, in at least three out
of every four stand-up contests in the open
field during the War of Independence, the
British arms were successful," he says:
"It is quite enough for us to know that we
lost the fight in the long run, that it was a
bad fight and a stupid fight, that a Tory Go
vernment began it, that a Tory Government
carried it through, and that Lord North lost
at last for a Tory monarch the brightest
jewels that ever sparkled in the crown of a
Mug."
Mr. Sala's description of the opening
of Congress, last month, occupies the
greater part of his third letter. A member
of Congress had offered to introduce him to
the " floor" of the House, and they missed
each other. "Still," he says, "I got on
pretty well without him. A very civil door
keeper told me that so soon as "the Ma
chine was running," and the roll of the
amml/em called t he would clvtl
to the gentleman of whom I was in quest;
yes, a civil doorkeeper! Only imagine a
decently courteous janitor at the door of the
British House of Commons! I suppose
that most Englishmen of the middle clams
have had, at some time of their lives, to ask
for an order for the strangers' gallery,
or have been anxious to confer for a
moment with a member of Parliament
while the House was sitting. I sup
pose we have most of us gone through
those humiliating and repulsive ordeals ; that
we have been ordered out of the way by
policemen ; have failed to obtain a civil an
swer to a question, and that over most of us
has come a burning desire to cudgel the in
solent, overbearing, and ignorant fellows
who occupy the leathern chairs at the en
trance of the House. The state of the case
is very different here. For such a nation of
office-seekers as they are, a Jack-in-office in
the United States is extremely rare." This
is candid, at least, and what follows certain.

Although he may say never a word from cession to
session, and has been a silent member ever since he
sat in the unreformed Parliament for Old Sarum,
he contrives, somehow, to persuade you that he is a
very great personage; that the leiselated tiles,
the frescoes, the statues, the Gothic carving and
gilding, all belong to him ; that he is one who has
stationery and a smoking-room found him by a
grateful country, and who gets any number of
blue• books for nothing. I will not say a word in
respect of his power to obtain tidewaiterships, let
ter-carriers' situation., or nominations for the in
land revenue for his friends, relatives, or dependents.
Suet. a power may be among the sittributes,of the
American legislators. But they fall to show it at
the immediate entrance to the Bali of Debate.
Wherever the 'log-rolling,' the ' engineering,' the
wimpulling. l and the pipe-laying are done, a
stranger s eels nothing of those processes in the lobby;
whereas, in England, you cannot be five minutes in
the Parliamentary corridor without being aware
that you are in the presence of a mob of suitors and
hangers on and genteel beggars. The begging is
done ..somewhere, I presume, at Washington, over
the bar at Willard's perhaps, or in the barber's shop
in the hall, where the white jeikined negroes shave
so deftly."
If an American had written and published
any thing half as bitter as this, about Eng
lish M. P's, how the London journals would
have been down upon him But, though
Mr. Sala's father was an Italian, and his
mother Portuguese-Polish, (really second
cousin to the unfortunate Stanislaus Leo
zinski, the last King of Poland,) he was
himself born in London, and is -thorough
English in feeling. He is a bold man to
write the truth about the airs and emptiness
of the Collective Wisdom in Westminster.
Entering the House of Representatives,
Kr. Bala, struck with admiration, says :
"The accommodation for the general pub
lic, in both Houses of the American Legis
lature, is magnificent. No interest, no in
fluence, no fees to door-keepers,no favor-
Reim, bar the portals, or munloose their
latches. The sovereign people who pay the
taxes are free to enter the Council Chamber
of their nation at all seasonable hours, and
hear the why and the wherefore of their be
ing taxed. The ladies, instead of being, by
an absurd and barbarous tradition, ignored,
admitted only on sufferance, and then coop
ed up in a wretched little corner to peep at
the members through Gothic trellis-work,
lik& -an ornamental meat-screen—just._ as
though they were oriental odalisques, assist
ing by stealth at the performance of an
opera—have capacious and luxuriously car
peted galleries for their use. There they
sit and listen, and, so far as I could judge,
do not gossip."
Here follows another choice bit of com
parison, which, no doubt, will cause no small
DI temper across the water :
"The gentlemen had room as ample and seats as
comfortable. They were of all grades : dandies—and
en American dandy is to Lord Dundreary, in point
of personal splendor- and hairy luxuriance, what
Count D'Orsay might have been to stunning Joe
Banks—officers, many with the shoulder straps of

From time to time the sovereign people claps its
hen& thou% whistles, addresses some favorite reps,-

when a patriotic 'point' is made by an orator in the
amphitheatre beneath. But such instances of mis
conduct are, I hope and believe, very rare. They
are as rare as the brawls and squabbles which have
been at times few and far between, known to dig.
turb‘he equanimity of the Senate and to scandalize
the dignity of the House of Representatives. Before
we jump at the conclusion that the American Con
gress is a species of beargarden, where rowdies yell
and stamp, and foul language is bandied about, we
should remember the trifling escapades of a personal
nature which have occurred in our own House. of
Parliament. We should remember that it is not
five ihundred sessions since one of the leaders of
party halted, in the midst of an oration, and in the
midst of a din in which hooting. and groanings
Were mingled With imitations of the cries of ani
mals, and put this question; ' Is the House of Com
mons drunk Ir The honorable member's words were
not taken down, but they were spoken in a full
House, nevertheless."
To this he adds, " I have watched, in
my time, a great many deliberative assem
blies in session—from British Parliaments
to Imperial Senates—from_ joint-stock com
panies' board meetings to parish vestries.
The sight I witnessed on the 7th of Decem
ber reminded me very strangely and forcibly
of an entirely different conclave. It was as
though I saw beneath me a spacious, noble,
and well-governed school. Many of the
scholars, indeed, were old, and a few were
bald, and some were reading newspapers;
but the desks, the books, the writing im
plements, the high-perched president, all
had a scholastic aspect Nor is there aught
In such an aspect, I infer, mean, or paltry,
or vulgar. It was a free school, and the
scholars had come, not to idle away their
time in jabbering about Mars, Bacchus,
Apollo, and Virortun, but to discuss and to
decide some of the sternest and awfullest
issues that in this English tongue were ever
mooted."
In a few sentences the organization of the
House is tersely described, and Mr. Sala
frays : " This was all. The school was at
work ; the machine was running.' There
was no blasting of trumpets, no bowing and
scraping of court creatures, stuck all over
'with gold-lace ; no dangling of ribbons, no
glittering of stars ; nor was there any un
seemly helter-skelter rush of members from
one House to the other to hear a speech
read. To me the spectacle was not tame.
When the rowdyism is to begin—if to begin
it is destined—when the members are to set
to abusing or cowhiding one another, or
exchanging imputations of cowardice, men
dacity, fraud, and drunkenness, I do not
know. Everything which I beheld ap
peared to me thoroughly modest, simple, and
noble—the free citizens of a great common
wealth setting about the task of govern
ing themselves, and doing it sensibly and
well."
He adds : " I stayed for a moment in the
gallery of the senate, which is of somewhat
smaller size, and where the audience was
sparser. There the Vice President, the
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin—a personage who,
like the rich old uncle in a comedy, is often
talked about but seldom seen—presides.
The same quiet, business-like scene was
visible here."
There is much liveliness, and considerable
observation, too, in what Mr; Sala says, and
it will be conceded, we think, that, not
withstanding a tendency natural to the
British " special correspondent," to carica
ture ordinary things, Mr. Sala is more can
did, more fair than recent English writers
in America even than Anthony Trollop°,
to say nothing of Dr. Mackey and Dr.
Russell. His correspondence will 'have

OBJECTIONS OF TEM PREB.STATE NEN TO GEN.
BANKS' PLAN OF. DECONSTRUCTION.
The proposed plan of Gen. Banks to restore Lou
isiana to the Union is the stabled of warm and ear-
nest discussion among the loyal men of New -Or
leans. The ground of their objections are briefly but
clearly stated in the following preamble and resolu
tions, unanimously adopted at a special session of
the iree-State General Committee, held on the 13th
inst. They will take part in the ensuing elections,
recognizing the duty of endeavoring to place the
proper men in office, but frankly stating that, in
their judgment, a Convention to frame a new Con
stitution should have first been called. Their fear
evidently is that an election held on the basis pre
scribed by the old Constitution may defeat the ob.
ject of restoring Louisiana to the Union a free and
loyal State:
Whereas, N. P. Banks, Major General Command
ing the Department of the Gulf, did, on the 12th of
January instant, issue his proclamation inviting the
loyal Citizens of Louisiana to assemble on the 22:1
of February, 1604, in order to cast their votes for
the election of seven executive officers—viz : Ist,
Governor ; 2d, Lieutenant Governor ; 3d, Secretary
of State; 4th, Treasurer ; Bth, Attorney General;
Bth, Superintendent of:Public Instruction; nth A.
ditor of Public Accounts ,•
Therefore, be it resolved, That this Free State Gene
ral Committee, not relinquishing its judgment that
the only true path to reconstruction is a Convention to
frame anew Co nstitution before any election for State 00-.
'
cers • end not renouncing its Misfit/ claim to have Sla
very abolished immediately without the dangers of and
futile scheme of gradual emancipation, ,• and not yield
ing its anent to the ides that the election of seven
executive officers can, by any proper use of terms,
be styled the Civil Government of Louisiana ; but,
nevertheless, recognizing the patriotic duty of en.
deavoring to place in office men whose opinions are
in harmony with the wants of Louisiana and the
spirit of the age, will take part in the election.
.Resolved further - That the Free-State Union men
of Louisiana are hereby respectfully recommended
to appoint delegates to a nominating convention, to
propose candidates for said seven executive officers,
to be held in New Orleans on Monday, the first day
of February, 1884, at 63A o'clock P. M., in the coin
inittee-renn, corner of Camp and Common streets, -
in this city.

CONTRACTORS COURT-BTARTIALID..-- The pro
ceedings, findings, and sentences of a court-martial,
in the cases of two delinquent contractor; have
just been approved by the tfecretary of War. The
court, of which Major General Haintzeiman was
president, convened at Washington, November 30,
1863. It appears that Mr. D. NV. Whitney made an
agreement with the Quartermaster's Department to
furnish 20,000 pair of gaiters of a certain quality;
commencing on the 20th of July, 1883, he was to de
liver 1,000 pair per day, and so deliver the number
stated on or before the 9th of August at sixty-four
cents a pair. Mr. Whitney failed, according to the
terms of his amazed, but delivered a large number
of gaiters of very inferior quality. The court found
him guilty of the facts, but acquitted him on the
evidence adduced of intending to defraud the Go.
velment and wilful neglect of duty
Mr. Wm. H. White, another contractor, made an
agreement on the 24th of April with the Quarter
master's Department to furnish 50,000 painted
haversacks, at fifty-three cents a piece, to be de
livered on or before July 17. Mr. White failed, with
few exceptions, to deliver the articles, but furnished
instead a number of rotten and inferior haversacks.
The court found him guilty of wilful neglect of duty,
and of the substance of the facts stated. The fol..
lowing is the sentence: "To pay to the United
States a fine of $3,000, and to be imprisoned in the
penitentiary at Albany, Or in Such pine air the Se
cretary of War may direct, until said fine shall be
paid, such imprisonment not to exceed, however,
the term of two years." The court was thus leni
ent, it appearing upon the evidence that Mr. White
was only the nominal contractor.—TriOune.
How THE SOLDIERS LIVE IN WINTER.-41 cor
respondent of the Pittsburg Ckronicle, writing from
the camp of the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment at De
chard Station, Tennessee, thus describes how the
men make themselves comfortable in winter : The
camp is laid out in regular order, with an eye to
health, comfort, and beauty. The company streets
are all one width, twenty feet. The bowie' of the
enlisted men are all one size and appearance, with a
apace between those of each, company, while the
internal arrangements aro all nearly the same—each
house ban two bunks and accommodates four men.
The most of the houses are built of logs, some few
of boards, but the dimensions of all are the acme.
Each house is provided With a ftrepiliee and OEM'
'ley, built of brick, in the rear, opposite the cen
tre, while the door opens out in front, opposite
the centre, to the company street. Now lot the
reader imagine one company having twenty.four
bowleg, each other company having the same num•
ber, the dimension, of each the same, and as fol.
lows : ten feet long, eight feet wide, and four feet
high, with four shelter-tents for a covering, having
a regular Ditch, forming the roof. Place twelve of
these on a line, fronting lengthwise, with a space of
two f ee t b e t wee n each, the door of each opening out
on that line opposite the centre of the house, while
opposite the door in the rear of the house is the tire
place and chimney; place on a Parallel line, leaving
a space of twenty feet in front, the other twelve
hut., fronting also lengthwise on said line, similar to
those on the Snit line, with the exception of the
front of each Louie, which is reversed, so that the
doors of each row front the other, leaving tne 'space
twenty feet between the two rows of houses. This
apace la stalled the company street. The company

As moon as these troops can be organized and offi

The recruiting officers and publicwspirited men
throughout the State continue their efforts in behalf

It concludes as follows : It may be truly said now,
speaking the sense intheinasses of our countrymen,
we are all Republicans, all Democrats. Exclude the
conspirators and the slave institution which they
have shaped into a plot to split the Union; exclude
the conspirators and those whom slavery has made

sovereignty of self-government, the rights of the
States, the nationality of the Union, all balanced,

of government inherited from our fathers.

Remarkable Daie_of Death from Chlora-
A widow lady, named Jane E, Ward, residing in
Ono hundred•and eighteenth street, near Third ave.
nue, has been for some time past suffering from a
carbuncle on her band. Tuesday night last' the pain
became so intense, that she sent one of her daughters
to a drug store to procure some chloroform, with
which to bathe the affected limb. The poisormas
procured, and Mrs. Ward at once commenced
operation of bathing ' t iler hand with it. Soon she
Lad inhaled sufficient to reduce her to a state of in
sensibility. She was found by one of her daughters
on an ottoman, with her face buried in a pillow, and
breathing very heavily. Death ensued before a
physician could be procured.
Uoroner Ranney held an inquest on the body yes
terday. The druggist who sold the poison was ex
amined. He stated that he had been in the drug
baldness ;for many years, and yet be seemed to be
entirely ignorant of the law of this State, which
requires druggists to label all articles of poison
Sold by them. In thin ease he had not labelled
it as be is required to do. The jury rendered the
following verdict : We find that the deceased came
to her 'death from inhaling chloroform . We fur
ther believe that James Wood, the druggist, is
censurable in selling the chloroform without le
belling it "poison," or taking the name or residence
of the deceased according to law. The deceased was
forty years of age, and a native of this State. Her
husband was a clergyman at the breaking out of the
rebellion, and bad a church in Harlem. Being a
patriot in the true sense, he took leave of his flock,
recruited a company, and joined , one of the New
York regiments. He was in most of the severe bat
tles as captain of his company, up to the second
battle of Bull Run. In this conflict he received a
Wound that caused hisdeath soon after. Mrs. Ward
being left nearly destitute, with a family, the people
Of Harlem sought a comfortable home for her, where
she lived up to the time of her death.
HOW OANA..DuLAS SWINDLE THE AMERMAN Au.

a man residing on Wolfe Island who recently took

well pleased, no doubt, with the result of his specu

In commenting upon this circumstance the To.
Globe says "We are sorry that a paper like

tone of 'gluon approval. A more manifest am Of

LADY Cr.Enze.--In regard to the empl oyment by
Secretary Chase of ladies as clerks in the Treasury
Department, a correspondent of the Washington
Republican says : While half-crazed enthusiasts are
talking about woman's rights, Governor Chase
has shown his desire to introduce the gentler sex into
new spheres of usefulness, by appointing ladies as
clerks in his department. Excellent clerks they
make, too, actually talking less and writing more
than some of their gentlemen associates. Some
forty years ago, (so the old clerks tell me,) when
William H. Crawford was Secretary ofthe Treasury,
and a candidate for the Presidential chair, his ama
nuensis and confidential clerk was .his daughter
Caroline, afterward Mr.. Dudley. She not only
wrote his private letters, but, during a year that he
was in bad health, signed his name to the many
papers requiring his signature. There is said to
have been a striking resemblance between Miss
Orawford's handwriting and that of her father, and
the clerks in the department could not detect the
difference in the signatures. Governor Chase may
not be equally fortunate in having a private secre
tary, but he deserves high honor for giving employ
ment to capable and deserving young ladles at
this time, when able-bodied men are needed in the
field. Let the Heads of other Departments felloW
big example.

that there wale found this morning a dead man, and
still banging, ice our neighborhood, as the enedoluid
scrip, which VAS found pinned to his back, wlit
show you by wham it was done. We have made /,
suitable box and 'buried him near the place he WA/
found hung. Should his friends wish to get his
body, they can get it by applying to any of the sub.
miners. We trust that you will not sttsoh any
blame to any of the citizens of this neighborhood, as
we were entirely ignorant of any of the ttirma.
stances until we found the body. From all we asoz
learn, he was brought across the Ohowan river to
this place, and as soon as the men who had him to
charge hung him, they went back.

Immediately upon the receiption of this intelligence
General Getty ordered Col. Spear, of the 11th Pen*.

and brins the same to headquarters, which the sob.

company of cavalry, under command of OMPtala
Allman. They jproceeded to South Pitille, and sent
a detachment of twelve men and a lieutenant to the
turnpike gate where .Samuel Jones , of Company
B, fith Ohio Element, was executed. He was hung
on Tuesday, the. 12th hilt. One Mr. Wlllamcon,
living near by, on Wednesday made a coffin, cut Kist

Captain Allman was instructed to bring the re.

ambulance to headquarters for your disposal; also

which are rather ugly things,
Very respectfully, M. B. SMITH,

The body was found dressed in the national uni
form, with the exception of the cap and shoes, which
the rebels had appropriated. The handcuffs alluded
to were of barbarous design, being compoer.d of a
single bar of iron, with a bow or yoke at either end,
and a nut compressing the same to the wrist. In
explanation of the statement in the " notice" that
Bright belonged to the e2tl Georgia, it should be re
marked that, according to his own account, he for
merly belonged to a Georgia regiment, but had efo
serted, and joined the guerillas.

which may be correct. When Gen. Pickett heard
of the execution of Bright, he wrote to the rebel.
authorities at Richmond demanding a Union prim
toner to hang in retaliation. After a little delay,
this demand was en:weeded to, and the Federal pre.-
stoners were required to cast lots to ascertain which
of their number the victim should be. The- lot fell
upon one of the Fifth Ohio, who was accordingly
brought down from Richmond, and executed.
It was the original intention of the rebels to hang
him on the spot, where Bright was hanged, but a ru
mor reaching the party having him in charge, while
on their way thither, that a Union cavalry force
was near at 'Land, they impended him to inc limle
of a tree, COMO five miles away, and hastily qe.
camped.
This affair has created. no little excitement here,
and serious consequences are likely to result from
it. As soon as he wasplaced in possession of the
facts, Gen. Butler left for Washington, to confer
with the authorities there. No one can doubt that
he will act vigorously and effectively, a, well as
wisely and prudently, in the matter.

This letter goes North In good company. On board
the Star of the South are peaked 3,800 bags of cotton
—ln gross weight about whoop pounds nvoiraupola.
For raising this cotton wages have been paid to free
black laborers. In its physical aspect it IS as white

Morally considered, it is the purest cargo of its kind

on it is no stain of the " blood and sweat of the

Distinctly addressing himself to recreants, traitorir t
and conspirators south of the military outposts OF
the United States, your correspondent would like to
convey to them as clearly as may be, a statement of
the facts in thi s novel business operation.
Upon Government plantatione, not yet gold into
private hands , and within the limits of the Sea
Mande of South Carolina, there have been retied
this season upward of 500,000 pounds of Sea Island
cotton, all of which is to be sold upon Government
account in New York city.
The freed slaves captured from rebel. or abandoned
by them to the unhappy fate of working as free.
paid laborers, under these cruel taskmaster', the
Yankees, have raised all this cotton ; have been
paid for so doing in money ; have cultivated, be.
sides for their sustenance, fields of corn and sweet
potatoes; have paid no rents for their cabins or
grounds ; have fed, clothed, and in every way main
tamed themselves without alms, or rations ; have
purchased many of the borers and mutes necessary
for the cultivation of the soil; have enriched them.

principle as the petty despots and " individual

irresponsible, and self-worshipping.
Not to spare conspirators the last drop or dreg in
this bitter cup of humiliation, your correspondent
